In this episode of the Garage Gym Athlete Podcast, Jerred Moon and Dave dive deep into the concept of zone training, focusing on how to effectively utilize heart rate zones for optimal fitness and performance. They discuss the importance of calculating maximum heart rate accurately, emphasizing that understanding your max heart rate is crucial for effective zone training. The conversation highlights the various heart rate zones, from recovery (Zone 1) to high-intensity efforts (Zone 5), and the benefits and drawbacks of each zone. Jerred and Dave also critique the overemphasis on Zone 2 training, arguing that while it is beneficial for building an aerobic base, it should not dominate an athlete's training regimen. Instead, they advocate for a balanced approach that incorporates all zones to enhance overall performance and fitness. Takeaways: Zone training is essential for improving overall fitness and performance. Calculating your maximum heart rate accurately is crucial for effective training. Zone 2 is important for building an aerobic base but shouldn't dominate your training. Incorporating all heart rate zones leads to better performance outcomes. Zone 3 is often overlooked but can be beneficial for pacing and endurance. Topics: zone training, heart rate zones, maximum heart rate, aerobic base, fitness performance, Garage Gym Athlete, training methods, endurance training, health and fitness
Risk gets talked about a lot in investing—and often defined poorly. This week on Rule Breaker Investing, David is joined by Motley Fool analysts Alicia Alfiere and Yasser El-Shimy to walk through his full 25-point risk rating system, a framework he's used for more than a decade to replace vague labels like “medium risk” with something concrete and measurable. Using Etsy and Duolingo as live 2026 case studies, the trio scores each company question by question—covering the business, financials, competition, leadership, and the investor's own willingness to dig deeper. Along the way, listeners get a deeper look at how studying risk is really about studying quality—and how seeing risk clearly with a number is just another way Rule Breaker investors can learn to break the rules….

The first week of the Brendan Banfield murder trial cracked open two very different stories. Prosecutors say this was a calculated plan of deception, timing, and staging that left a wife and a stranger dead in the same bedroom. The defense says the case is built on a deal, a delayed story, and an investigation that didn't challenge its own assumptions. Jurors heard the 911 calls, first-responder accounts, medical findings, and the opening testimony of the au pair at the center of it all. Now the question isn't just what happened, it's who you believe when the evidence starts pushing back. #BrendanBanfield #ChristineBanfield #JosephRyan#JulianaMagalhaes #FairfaxCounty #VirginiaTrial #MurderTrial #TrueCrime #TrueCrimeCommunity #TrialWatch #CourtroomRecap #OpeningStatements #ForensicEvidence #BloodEvidence #DigitalForensics #Catfish #FetLife #AuPair #911Call #CrimeScene #JusticeForChristine #JusticeForJoseph #TrueCrimeYouTube #ProfilingEvilSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Thanks to our partners Promotive and Wicked FileAre you setting sales goals that actually make you more money — or just more tired?What if your biggest growth goal is quietly setting your shop up for failure?In this episode, Hunt Demarest breaks down one of the most common (and dangerous) mistakes shop owners make when planning for growth: setting sales targets without understanding the real constraints behind them.Building on the ideas introduced in Episode 200, Hunt walks through how to set profit-driven goals instead of vanity sales numbers — and how to pressure-test those goals against your people, pricing, productivity, and physical space before they turn into stress, burnout, or shrinking margins.Using real shop examples and simple math, this episode shows how to reverse-engineer a sales target from profit, identify your true limiting factors, and decide whether growth should come from pricing, car count, ARO, staffing, or capacity — not guesswork.What you'll learn…(00:01) Why every shop owner needs a growth goal — and why the wrong one can lead to disaster(03:00) Setting sales goals vs profit goals(05:10) How to work backward from profit into gross profit and sales(06:35) Why sustained 30–50% growth is unrealistic for most auto repair shops(08:25) The danger of planning future years before fixing today's constraints(10:40) Calculating sales targets for profit(13:30) Why labor rate is often the biggest lever — not car count(18:00) How to identify limiting factors in business growth(19:55) Using ARO versus car count to find the least painful path to growth(24:40) How to maximize profitability and resourcesThanks to our partner PromotiveIt's time to hire a superstar for your business; what a grind you have in front of you.

AI tools are already answering your customers' questions. The real question is, how do you ensure your business is part of those answers?In this episode, we sit down with Sergey Lucktinov, an AI search visibility expert who has spent more than a decade navigating algorithm shifts and rethinking how businesses get discovered online. Sergey breaks down how visibility works in the age of AI and what business owners need to do to make sure their brand is actually being mentioned, not silently skipped. We explore how AI has fundamentally changed SEO. The focus is no longer on keywords and backlinks alone, but on meaning, trust, and whether your content is eligible to be retrieved by AI systems in the first place. Sergey shares how years of surviving major search changes led him to develop Semantic Retrieval Optimization (SRO), a framework built specifically for how AI systems retrieve, evaluate, and surface content today. He explains how to format content so large language models (LLMs) can easily understand and reuse it, and why AI has quietly leveled the playing field, giving smaller companies new opportunities to compete with much larger brands in search. We also break down Semantic Entity Networks (SENs) and how they fit into modern on-page optimization, as well as the biggest mistakes and misconceptions businesses have about LLM optimization.If you want to understand how to increase your visibility in AI search, this episode is a must-listen.

You set the limit on what God can do in your life. God's definition of what is possible is far different from ours, but too often we settle for what we can map out and understand ourselves. As we read from Mark 6 and John 6, we see the 12 discliples do the exact same thing. But just like Jesus is waiting to do in our lives today, he shows that we can't box a miracle into our own limitations by feeding the 5,000 (and then 4,000 more).

It has been learned that the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) is making arrangements to set an upper limit on the number of “retained workers” used to calculate support bonuses. This move comes in response to allegations that three “Type A Support Centers for Continuous Employment” in Osaka City received excessive payments. The Ministry revealed this plan on the 16th during a meeting to discuss revisions to the compensation system for disability welfare services. Episode notes: ‘Japan Govt to set cap on number of ‘retained workers' used to calculate disability employment subsidies following excessive payments': https://barrierfreejapan.com/2025/12/19/japan-govt-to-set-cap-on-number-of-retained-workers-used-to-calculate-disability-employment-subsidies-following-excessive-payments/
He wasn't inexperienced.He wasn't impressionable.And he wasn't looking for monsters.A t thirty-two years old, this machinist from Lufkin had spent nearly his entire life in the woods. Twenty-five years of hunting experience. Countless nights alone in East Texas backcountry. He'd tracked deer through tangled briar and swamp, crossed paths with black bears, mountain lions, and javelinas, and faced every known predator the region could throw at him.None of that prepared him for the Big Thicket.In November of 1994, a solo five-day deer hunt into one of the most remote and biologically diverse wilderness regions in North America became something else entirely. What began as a routine trip for solitude and game turned into three nights of escalating fear—an encounter that permanently altered his understanding of what the wild is capable of hiding. It began with a footprint.Sixteen inches long. Five clearly defined toes. Pressed deep into creek mud by something far heavier than any known animal in the region.Then came the sounds.Deep, resonant vocalizations that didn't just echo through the trees—they vibrated through his chest. Low, rolling howls. Multiple voices calling back and forth in the darkness. Communicating. Coordinating. That first night, something circled his camp. By morning, tracks were everywhere. Whatever it was had walked within twenty feet of his tent while he sat by the fire, rifle across his lap, convinced he was prepared for anything. He wasn't. When he killed an eight-point buck and hung it two hundred yards from camp, he thought he'd salvaged the trip. He was wrong. Whatever watched him from the tree line wanted that deer. The rope—rated for four hundred pounds—was snapped clean, as if it were thread.The final night brought rocks. Not random. Not accidental. Thrown with intent. Accurate. A clear warning delivered in stone.Then came the whispering. Multiple voices. Just below comprehension. Talking about him. Deciding something. And finally… he saw it. Eight feet tall. Possibly taller. Covered head to toe in reddish-brown hair. Shoulders nearly four feet wide. Arms hanging past its knees. Built like something out of a nightmare—thick through the chest, narrow at the waist, legs like tree trunks.But it was the eyes that stayed with him.Intelligent. Calculating. Eyes that were weighing a decision.It let him leave. But not before destroying his tent.Not before making the message unmistakably clear. This is our land.You don't belong here.Don't come back. He understood. He's never returned to the Big Thicket.

In this episode, "The Metrics Brothers," Growth (Ray Rike) and CAC (Dave Kellogg), dive into a critical challenge for modern SaaS and AI-Native companies: accurately calculating Net Revenue Retention (NRR) in environments that utilize variable pricing models (usage-based, outcome-based, etc.).They begin by defining NRR, emphasizing its importance as a key metric and its high correlation with Enterprise Value-to-Revenue multiples.The brothers then dissect the primary challenge: the absence of traditional Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) in non-annual contract models. They explore different proxies for ARR, including MRR x 12 and Implied ARR (Quarterly Revenue x 4), and discuss the pitfalls of each, particularly the risk of overstating annual revenue due to seasonality or significant one-time deals.Finally, they offer their preferred, cohort-based method for calculating NRR—the "Snowflake Method" or "Two-Year Look Back"—which compares the current revenue of a specific group of customers (cohort) to their revenue from a year ago. They conclude with a discussion on how this method helps dampen the "noise" and variability inherent in usage-based data when trying to measure expansion and contraction.

The decision to move from a manual to an automated process has historically been a laborious, lengthy, and capital-intensive endeavor. Calculating the return on investment (ROI) of such a project is critical to the decision-making process. Companies beginning their automation journey tend to look at robots as a 1 to 1 replacement for their workforce leading to expensive over tooled and over automated processes. Focusing solely on labor replacement can lead companies to vastly undervalue some of the less obvious cost savings created by the switch to robotics. In this presentation, we will be discussing some of the best practices and common pitfalls to avoid when calculating the ROI of a robotic implementation, including: Efficient system design for a high-mix manufacturing environment Cost benefits from increased production and decreased waste Indirect cost benefits generated from increased worker satisfaction and safety Long term cost savings from greater traceability, product consistency and redeployability By considering these concepts, we can move toward considering robots as part of an overall process improvement opportunity versus simply as a direct replacement to workers. Doing so brings into consideration improvements to the production environment, increased product quality, and enhanced company profitability. Ultimately a refocused ROI calculation will help companies pivot from mid-line labor expenses to top-line revenue and bottom-line profitability.

Financial planning expert Anjali Jariwala joins Tracy to discuss the unique financial challenges physician practice owners face and why comprehensive planning requires both personal wealth management and business strategy. With her background in tax and financial planning plus personal ties to the physician community, Anjali offers insider perspective on navigating the complex transition from residency to high earnings, building sustainable businesses, and creating alignment between personal values and professional goals. Click here for full show notes Is your practice growth-ready? See Where Your Practice Stands: Take our Practice Growth Readiness Assessment Episode Highlights The physician financial transition challenge: Why going from minimal resident income to high earnings overnight creates both financial and emotional complications that most physicians aren't trained to handle Personal before business: Anjali's approach of spending 2-3 months on personal financial planning before touching business finances, and why this sequence creates better long-term alignment Accountant vs. strategist: The critical distinction between historical accounting and forward-looking financial strategy—and why practice owners need both Growth barriers decoded: How to recognize when your practice has hit a growth ceiling and what changes are typically needed to break through The guilt factor: Why physician owners struggle with asking for help or outsourcing tasks, and how to reframe these decisions as strategic investments Building your professional team: Beyond your clinical team, you need accountants, tax specialists, financial advisors, and attorneys—here's how to leverage them effectively Know your numbers: Why practice owners must understand their books better than anyone else, even when outsourcing bookkeeping functions Time as currency: Calculating your hourly rate and using it to make smarter decisions about which tasks to keep versus delegate Memorable Quotes "At the end of the day, money is a tool. We have emotions that get tied up in it, but we really need to unwind the emotion from the fact that this is just a tool." "For many practice owners, your personal finances are so interconnected with the business that I want to have clarity on what you want to achieve personally. So then when I go into the business, we can align everything up to meet those goals." "Part of it is identifying what are your strengths and where are your weaknesses, and then who are the people that you can plug in to help you with those weaknesses so it's not hindering your ability to grow." "We spend so much time working in the business because we want to provide good care and take care of our clients and patients, that we don't focus enough time on working on the business." "There's sometimes feelings of guilt to ask for help. Part of it is really coming at it from a standpoint of: I need help, it's okay to ask for help, and I shouldn't feel guilty about asking for this help because it's going to make my life better, my family's life better, and all the people who work for me better too." Closing Anjali's message about releasing the guilt around asking for help really resonates. As practice owners, we often carry this sense that we should be able to handle everything ourselves—but that mindset actually limits our growth and our impact. Whether it's financial planning, operations support, or strategic guidance, building the right team of trusted advisors isn't a weakness—it's how you create a practice that truly thrives. Bio: Anjali Jariwala is the founder of FIT Advisors, a financial planning firm serving physicians and business owners across the US. After working with Fortune 500 clients at distinguished firms, Anjali launched her own practice to help clients understand that money is a tool for reaching financial goals—while acknowledging how emotions impact financial decisions. Her expertise in tax and finance has been featured in CNBC, Bloomberg, The New York Times, USA Today, and Business Insider. Beyond financial planning, Anjali is also a children's book author. As a South Asian mom, she wrote Why We Eat With Our Hands to highlight day-to-day cultural traditions and increase representation for children who look like her daughter. Whether through financial advising or children's literature, Anjali is passionate about helping people feel empowered to build the lives they want.

AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich is joined by Dr. Geoffrey Smith, dairy technical services veterinarian with Zoetis. Calf scours remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in beef and dairy calves. Smith reviews his presentation from the 2025 AABP conference in Omaha, Neb. and AABP members can view that presentation on the CE portal by going to this page. Understanding the pathophysiology of neonatal scours can help veterinarians and producers understand the treatment goals. Calves with scours typically have a metabolic acidosis with hyponatremia, hypokalemia, hypoglycemia and dehydration. It is important to replace the sodium to rehydrate the calf. Smith reviews the IV fluid therapy options including lactated ringers, isotonic sodium bicarbonate, hypertonic saline solution, and hypertonic sodium bicarbonate. Calculating the base deficit can be done with bloodwork but can also be estimated with an estimate of 20 mEq/L in a down calf. Smith also reviews some guidelines for a good oral electrolyte solution which includes 90-130 mEq/L of sodium, glycine for an energy source and to help sodium be absorbed from the gut, an alkalinizing agent such as sodium bicarbonate or sodium acetate, a strong ion difference (sodium plus potassium minus chloride) of at least 60 which is an indication of the fluid's ability to alkalinize the calf. We also review some of the questions asked at the conference. As we prepare for winter and the next calving season, this episode will help veterinarians and your clients prepare for treating calf scours when our prevention efforts fail.

Today will be the first post in a short series discussing attempts to “calculate” the (supposed) “costs” of “ob*sity.”Before we get into any of this I want to say unequivocally that anytime we try to calculate the cost of a group of people, including and especially, to support a call for their eradication, we are going down a very bad, very wrong road. So while I will be discussing the specific issues with these calculations, please always remember that the calculations shouldn't be undertaken in the first place.

A @Christadelphians Video: Explore the profound and thought-provoking 70 x 7 prophecy from Daniel 9:24 in this exceptional Watchman Report. This insightful expositional study delves into the possibility that we are currently living in the 70th Jubilee year, a pivotal moment in biblical chronology that could point to the imminent fulfillment of a 3,430-year timeline.We examine the connection between the command in Leviticus 25 to count Jubilee cycles and the prophecy of "seventy sevens." Through careful analysis of biblical chronology, including key dates from Ezekiel 40 and historical events, we present a compelling case for this timeline's starting point and its potential conclusion in our very near future. This is more than a prophecy study; it is a call to spiritual readiness.**Chapters / Timestamps:**00:00 - Introduction to the 70 x 7 Prophecy01:22 - The Foundation: Jubilee Cycles & Leviticus 2502:51 - Daniel 9:24: The 70 "Sevens" Prophecy03:52 - Are the "Sevens" Jubilee Cycles?04:41 - Pinpointing the Start: When Israel Entered the Land05:45 - A Key Jubilee in Ezekiel 40:106:39 - Calculating the 70th Jubilee07:29 - The Prophetic Countdown & Our Time08:23 - A Call to Readiness and Conclusion**Bible Verses Featured:**
